SRINAGAR – In a first, APHC Chairman Syed Ali Gilani makes unprecedented demands from Pakistan against India, Media Report has revealed.
All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) Chairman Syed Ali Geelani has demanded Prime Minister Imran Khan to make an announcement of Pakistan’s withdrawal from all aspects of the Tashkent, Shimla and Lahore agreements.
In a letter penned to PM Imran Khan, the APHC chairman thanked the prime minister and the people of Pakistan for their whole-hearted support to the Kashmir cause and sacrifices for the oppressed people of Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK).
Syed Ali Geelani admired the way the prime minister spoke at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in favor of the Kashmiri people and against the Indian decision to illegally change the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir.
He pointed out that India’s attempt to force this illegal decision on the people has seen a widespread curfew in the region.
Syed Ali Gilani maintained that the freedom struggle of the Kashmiri people against the Indian occupation and tyranny has gone through many phases since 1947 and the years, 1988, 2008, 2010 and 2016, have remained as landmarks of the struggle.
“All forms of communication, including phones and internet have been cut off. Thousands of people, including children, old men, teenagers, traders, lawyers, students and Hurriyat leadership and their relatives have been subjected to savage torture,” Syed Ali Geelani said.
“The mass blinding of Kashmiri youth, which started in 2010 has also continued with hundreds more being injured by pellet guns in this phase of the struggle as well,” he added.
The APHC chairman pointed out that molestation, sexual harassment and even sodomy have also continued to be used as state policy to subjugate people.
“Indian occupation forces are still molesting women after barging into their homes. Parents are being asked the ages of their young girls and the occupying forces are telling people that their intention is to dishonor Kashmiri Muslim women,” he added.
